The Philadelphia papers oppose the propo-

that city. They think there is wickedness
enough already in Philadelphia without the

A Wadena gentleman at the Ryan yesterday
gave the GLOBE a bit of history which he as
serted was the real reason why William E..
Lee at the recent session of the legislature
planned to cut up, under the proposed reap
portionment, the present senatorial district
from which he halls, as we'll as change the
representative lines. The new district pro-
posed by Mr.. Lee was Todd, Wadena and Nor
rison counties. dropping Grow Wing, Mile
Laos and Benton, and he expected to pro-
mote his own political aspirations by the
deal. 1t has been alleged that Benton county
was cut Oft because Lee. who wants to go to
the senate, was afraid of Buchanan,
and that Mile Laos was left out
in order to get rid of Bob Dunn,
of the Princeton Union, to whom some Pied
ges had been made. Dunn was a candidate
for the legislature last fall, but Lee, Lum and
Flynn captured the prizes in the district.
Dunn was disposed to be ugly and for a time
the party managers had trouble with him.
but hna'ly he fell in and supported the
ticket, and it is generally believed that he
Wls promised place in the legislative delega-
ton in 1883. Lee was looking out for both
these contingencies. But the failure to re-
apportion makes it awkward for Lee, Lum
and Flynn. If Dunn demands that the pledge
be carried out, who of the three will give
way? This was the first term Of Lum and
Flynn, aud they can ask for reelection.
Lee has served before. If precedent is fol-
lowed Lee will have to step aside. This is a
dilemma he was trying to avoid. at any rate,
it is an interesting situation. If Lee has to
give place to Dunn he will have to try for the
scalp of Buchanan.

who desires to attend beer hall or gar

man who desires to attend church with
his family. The right to do either Is an
individual right with which the state
has no concern, only 10 see that neither
one in the exercise of his right inter-
feres with the other In the exercise Of
his. This Sunday law shuts out four
fifths OF the citizens OfSan Antonio from

and amusement were closed, and the
church gOsrs could not expect their
Sunday to be broken for their special
benefit. 1t must eventually close every
restaurant, barber shop, bakery, ice
cream saloon, ice factory, butcher shop,
livery stable and bath house In the city,
because no discrimination In the classes
OF business which the state licenses and
receives tax for can DO tolerated under
the constitution. Pushed to its legiti-
mate conclusion it will stop all railroad
traffic, and would finally stop the
churches, we're it not that the state be-
comes the parent Of the church, makes
itself one with the church, and dis
eliminates against all that is not Of the
church This Is so clearly against the
original declarations Of the constitution
that it must be accepted as unqualified
ly unconstitutional.
The LIGHT is opposed to the law as
bearing unequally upon the people. 1t
takes away from the poor man his one
day of recreation, pleasure and enjoy
and dooms him to dead inaction, I'M
less he belong to the small minority
who find their Sunday pleasures in
church exercises. 1t is an unwarranted

many, not for the benefit of the few. but
to crafty the arbitrary demands OF a
few. All the same, the law, unequal, I'M

will of the majority, only admissible

Shall the mere fact that a wooden
headed democratic legislature placed it

Was Ever America Discovered?

At the time when Columbus started in search
of the New World, nearly every man, woman
aud child in Europe insisted that there was no
New World 10 discover When he came back,
crowned with success, a large proportion OF
these good people adhered to their theory;
and If they were alive today many or them
would doubtless insist that Amer ca had never
been discovered at all. A man will give up
anything in the world more readily than pet
theory. For example, look at the individuals
who still maintain that consumption is incur
able. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has cured thousands upon thousands of cases,
and will cure thousands more but thes these
people can't give up their point. Neverthe-
less the discovery" will cure any case OF
consumption, If taken in time.
